Isolation Series: Phlox and Fern

Phlox and Fern

These are gentle, pleasant days, as spring rolls over into summer. My morning visits to the creek involve strolling through gossamer threads of spider silk waving on the breezes, of seeing the ferny grass tops blush pink as the sun shines through them, and of watching puffs of pollen release into the air as the wind blows. The birds sing sweetly, the heron still fishes, and the baby ducks grow fat.
